Spookies

Hello dear readers

Last week, we took a little vacation visiting my home town Haifa. I'm always happy to go there and reunite with some of childhood friends with whom we keep in touch. We returned on Friday to stay home for the Day of Atonement - Yom Kippur.

Yom Kippur is a day when everything comes to a stop. No
transportation, public or private, except for emergencies. No open restaurants or cinemas, theaters or other entertainment. Religious people fast on this day. Those
who are not strictly believers eat but try not to offend the others. No local broadcasting on TV and
Radios except for foreign channels. It's also a day when you ask pardon from anyone you offended.

It's really relaxing to be able to sleep late without having to listen to noisy traffic outside. Friends and family can arrive unexpected and a good time is had by all.

Today is back to normal and I can show you a few of the spooky minis I collected for Halloween.

The sculls are plastic beads. The gold plated necklaces, bought two years ago, are scull masks. The earrings were very cheap, about $0.25 each pair.

I painted the golden sculls with acrylic beige and "dirtied" the too white beads with a brown wash.

I have to find a better way to make ghosts.

I forgot to show you this photo of me at the exposition entrance.

Here are some pictures from the internet of the Haifa beautiful Bahian Gardens.

I really like to know the traditions and culture deglia latri countries, so thank you for telling us this. The place is a place where you've been incanteole, I never tire of admiring the pictures! I really like your work for halloween, in particular the kitten on the pumpkin. A big hug and a good week

Thank you for the information about Yom Kippur, so far I knew the expression but not the meaning (I must confess I used to read a lot from Ephraim Kishon in earlier days so that's my source). Haifa must be a beautiful city and it was great to see you in front of the exhibition's logo. And your Halloween miniatures are stunning - I see you're really prepared for Trick or Treating... ;O)

It is always good to see you on the photos, dear Drora! :) :) Haifa..can you believe I saw Bahia Gardens exactly the way you have it on the first photo? Our driver three times was driving through traffic circle so that everyone could take a good photo of them, lol! And the spooky minis are fantastic! hugs

Thank you for your explanation of Yom Kippur, I didn't knew much about it. It is great to see you on the picture of the miniature exhibition, Drora, you look great :D!
